FLAUNT THE AMERICAN FLAG DAY--Nationwide Protest Wednesday, May 12, 2010
Sunday, May 9, 2010 | Kristinn

Posted on 05/09/2010 3:21:46 PM PDT by kristinn

I am posting this announcement with Jim Thompson's blessing and support.

Patriotic Americans all across the nation are being called on to 'flaunt the American flag' on Wednesday, May 12, 2010 by wearing patriotic-themed clothing such as American flag style shirts, blouses, ties or jackets; American flag lapel pins or brooches; and by displaying the American flag at home, on your car or at your desk at work. You can even carry an American flag with you as you make your rounds on Wednesday and really flaunt that flag!

This is being done as a show of support for the American families in Morgan Hill, California whose students attending Live Oak High School were ordered to remove their American flag style shirts so as to not offend Mexican students on Cinco de Mayo last week.

Offended Mexican students walked out of class the next day and staged a protest march demanding "respect" for "our holiday" by demanding Americans not display the American flag on American soil.

One protester, Luis Jimenez, was videotaped by KNTV-TV saying, "Yesterday, it was our holiday, Cinco de Mayo. All of, like, the Americans thought they could wear their flags and just flaunt them in front of us."

Another Mexican protester was videotaped by KRON-TV ripping an American flag out of the hands of an American that same day.

In response, please send this message: We Americans will flaunt our flag on our soil anytime we please. If some folks don't like that, we have an old saying for them, "America, love it or leave it!"

Please e-mail and post this call to action on blogs, Facebook, Twitter and send it to you local and national Tea Party groups and talk radio hosts.

(Note to all the race-baiting liberals and weak-kneed David Brooks types, this is not about race, or even about Mexico. This is about Americans standing up for America on American soil. If you can't handle displays of patriotism, the same message above applies to you too.)

If anyone asks who started this and why May 12, just say it was started by a TEA-ed off American and May 12 just seems like a good day to wear the red, white and blue.

How about next year on 5 May? Or would that be too, too much something or other?
Just what makes the 5th of May so doggoned important, and who decided that it is? It is not a Mexican “National Day,” not Mexican Independence Day, merely the anniversary of the defeat of some French invaders.
I don’t get it. But evidently that date does offer an opportunity for U. S. citizens who don’t really like our country to show their disdain by demostrating support for the alien invaders from Mexico.

But it really IS Karl Marx’ birthday so why not make May 5th yet another Marxist national holiday as we now “celebrate” Earth Day on April 22 which is Lenin’s birthday.

...With all due respect to you that support this, I disagree. The American flag is to be raised on a standard. Wear red, white, and blue bunting to show your respect, not a flag on yer underwear to flash someone that might be burning a flag in public with disrespect...

We need Toby Keith to sing that song again... Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue!

Love the song as well. Too bad that Toby Keith is a dimTurd nitwit who voted for 0bozo the commie pig and last I knew, was still shilling for 0bozo. I would be willing to bet that political correctness & wanting to be liked by the media has defanged Toby Keith. He's just another useful idiot for the lefties.

I don’t leave home without my American Flag lapel pin.

Going to fly my flag that attaches to my car window on Wednesday.

Thanks for posting!

It will be very interesting to see if any participants in this endeavor are treated in a manner similar to how the students were treated. Will this ‘snowball’ because the country’s gotten to the point that promoting the flag represents controversy on ANY day, i.e., will wearing a flag pin to work or having one of those hand held flags at your desk, be considered UN-p.c. and will patriots be asked to remove?

“Who is Jim Thompson?
He is one sorry bastard!

I have it on good authority that he invented Karl Rove’s Hurricane machine.

He is the guy who gave a shotgun to Dick Cheney and then yelled “shoot”!

He is the person who first said, “Butterfly Ballots would be great in Florida!”

I personally saw a photo of him blowing up the levees in New Orleans.

He is the guy who told the CIA Saddam had WMDs.

If it weren’t for Jim Thompson, Valery Plame’s identity as a CIA agent would still be a secret.

I heard that he spends his spare time melting ice burgs while wearing a t-shirt that says “screw the polar bears”.

He is one bad dude.”

Yes, I think I read this same thing in Newsweak.

If any Mexican ripped an American flag out of my hands, there would be an international incident.

I believe it’s coincidence. I believe that on some May 5 in the 19th Century, Mexicans repudiated their French overlords in Mexico city, or some such. Could somebody well versed in El Thinko de Mayo help me, please? Thanks.

Well, as a 0b0z0 supporter, Toby Keith can also be openly friendly to Chely Wright.
